Krishikranti Sulvion | Sulphur 55.16% SC | Chemical Fungicide

Krishikranti Sulvion (Sulphur 55.16% SC) is a liquid sulphur fungicide with triple action fungicide, acaricide (miticide), and plant growth promoter. The colloidal suspension concentrate (particle size below 3 microns) gives uniform leaf coverage, faster activity, and zero scorching even on tender leaves. One of the most reliable contact fungicides for powdery mildew, scab, and mite control across grapes, mango, apple, chilli, cumin, and cucurbits. What is Sulphur 55.16% SC? Sulphur 55.16% SC is a flowable suspension concentrate formulation of elemental sulphur a multi-site contact fungicide and acaricide. Unlike old-style sulphur dust or wettable powder (Sulfex 80 WDG), the SC formulation has finer particles, dissolves uniformly in water, and sticks better to the leaf. Approved for use in conventional crop protection and accepted in many organic farming programs. Mode of Action Contact fungicide : kills fungal spores on the leaf surface by disrupting respiration and breaking down spore oil globules. Acaricidal action : kills mites and their eggs on contact (ovicidal + adulticidal effect). Growth promoter : supplies elemental sulphur, a secondary nutrient required for protein synthesis, chlorophyll formation, and oil content in oilseeds. Multi-site action : fungi cannot easily develop resistance against sulphur. Key Benefits : Sulphur 55.16% SC Fungicide Triple action : fungicide + miticide + plant nutrient in one product. Best-in-class for powdery mildew in grapes, mango, chilli, cucurbits, apple, and rose. Strong on mites : controls yellow mite, two-spotted spider mite, eriophyid mite. No phytotoxicity : at recommended dose; safe on tender berries and fruit. Greener leaves : boosts chlorophyll and photosynthesis; reduces yellowing. Resistance management : multi-site molecule; ideal rotation partner with single-site systemic fungicides. IPM & organic compatible : minimal impact on beneficial insects. Cost-effective : ₹450 ml protects one full acre; competitive vs Sulfex, Kumulus, Microthiol. Sulphur 55.16 SC Uses (Crop-Wise Diseases & Pests Controlled) Crop Diseases & Pests Controlled Grapes Powdery mildew, Mites (two-spotted, eriophyid) Mango Powdery mildew, Mango hopper (suppression), Mites Apple Scab, Powdery mildew, European red mite Chilli Powdery mildew, Yellow mite, Thrips (suppression) Cumin / Jeera Powdery mildew Cucurbits (Bottle gourd, Bitter gourd, Cucumber, Pumpkin) Powdery mildew, Mites Cotton Two-spotted spider mite, Powdery mildew Okra / Bhendi Powdery mildew, Yellow mite Groundnut Tikka leaf spot, Rust (partial) Pea / Beans Powdery mildew, Rust Citrus & Pomegranate Powdery mildew, Mites, Scab Roses & Ornamentals Powdery mildew, Black spot, Mites Sulphur 55.16 SC Dose & Application Method Application Dose Foliar spray (general) 3 ml per litre of water (≈ 450 ml per acre in 200 L water) Knapsack pump 45 ml per 15-litre pump High disease/mite pressure Up to 700 ml per acre Spray interval 10–14 days, repeat as per disease pressure Sprays per cycle 2–4 (rotate with non-sulphur fungicide) Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) 7 days (most crops); check label per crop When to Spray Sulphur Fungicide At first sign of white powdery patches on leaves or fruit. As a preventive spray before bloom in grapes, mango, and apple. On detection of mite damage : yellow stippling, leaf curl, webbing. Spray during cool, dry weather when humidity is dropping. Early morning or late evening : avoid spraying when temperature is above 32°C to prevent leaf scorch. Critical Safety Notes Never mix with oils (mineral oil, neem oil, petroleum spray oils) : combination causes severe leaf burn. Maintain at least 14 days gap between sulphur and oil sprays. Do not spray above 32°C : risk of phytotoxicity on tender leaves and fruit. Do not mix with copper compounds (Bordeaux, Copper Oxychloride) or strongly alkaline products. Always perform a jar test before tank-mixing with any other input. Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is Sulphur 55.16% SC used for? Sulphur 55.16 SC uses include the control of powdery mildew, scab, and mites in grapes, mango, apple, chilli, cumin, cucurbits, cotton, and ornamentals. It also acts as a plant growth promoter and supplies elemental sulphur as a secondary nutrient. 2. What is the correct dose of Sulphur 55.16 SC per acre? 3 ml per litre of water, or 450 ml per acre in 200 litres of water. Use 45 ml per 15-litre knapsack pump. Under heavy disease/mite pressure, dose can go up to 700 ml per acre. 3. Is Sulphur 55.16 SC a fungicide or acaricide? Both. It is a dual-action fungicide and acaricide (miticide) — controls fungal diseases like powdery mildew and scab, plus mites including two-spotted spider mite and yellow mite. 4. Can Sulphur 55.16 SC be sprayed on grapes for powdery mildew? Yes. It is one of the most effective fungicides for powdery mildew in grapes. Spray at pre-bloom, post-bloom, and pre-bunch closing stages. Avoid spraying when berries are above 32°C. 5. How is Sulphur SC different from Sulphur WDG (Sulfex / Kumulus)? SC (Suspension Concentrate) is liquid, with finer colloidal particles below 3 microns — gives faster action and better leaf adhesion. WDG (Water Dispersible Granules) is dry granular and dissolves slower. The SC formulation is preferred where uniform spray and quick mildew/mite knockdown is needed. 6. Can Sulphur 55.16 SC be tank-mixed with other pesticides? Compatible with most fungicides and insecticides — but NEVER mix with mineral or neem oil, petroleum spray oils, copper-based fungicides, or strongly alkaline products. Maintain 14 days gap between sulphur and oil sprays. Always do a jar test first. 7. Is Sulphur 55.16 SC safe for organic farming? Elemental sulphur is permitted in many organic farming standards (Form input depends on certification body). It is one of the few synthetic-free fungicides accepted under EU and several Indian organic certifications. 8. What is the Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)? Typically 7 days for most crops. Always check the product label for crop-specific PHI before harvest. 9. Why does sulphur cause leaf burn sometimes? Phytotoxicity happens in three cases: (a) spraying above 32°C temperature, (b) mixing with oil-based products, or (c) using on sulphur-sensitive varieties. Avoid all three to prevent leaf scorch.
